Angelo Dundee, one of boxing’s most legendary trainers who trained Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, died at the age of 90 of natural causes. He was hired as Ali's trainer and cornerman in 1960, when Ali was still called Cassius Clay, and stuck with him through his fights with George Foreman and Joe Frazier, and he stepped in to stop the fight Ali lost to Larry Holmes.
